Membership

We are an inclusive sailing club supporting all aspects of sailing...
Education, Recreation, Racing and Social Events. 

Family Memberships are for households where two or more members of one family participate in the Club's activities. Members of one family shall mean husband, wife, common-law and children under 18 years of age or under 25 years of age who are engaged in full time studies.

Individual Memberships are for people who are the only sailor in a household participating in the Club's activities.

Youth and Student Memberships are for
* youth under the age of 18 who are not part of a Family Membership
or
* individuals 18 years of age and older who are engaged in full-time studies.

Social Memberships are for people not actively sailing at the club and who want to stay connected with the social and educational activities at the club.

Sail Canada and Alberta Sailing Association membership

There are benefits to both you as an individual and to the Club to being part of the provincial and national network of sailing associations.

• The Club can participate in the boat donation program (and we have received five donated boats in the first 8 months of the program)
• Financial assistance program participation
  
• Insurance discounts for members
  
• Access to educational materials (CANSail / Start Keelboat Sailing)
  
• Nationally accredited instructor training programs
  
• Able to use Racing Rules of Sailing (read this for clarification If the RRS do not apply, the International Regulations for ­Preventing Collisions at Sea govern races. The rights and obligations of boats under the IRPCAS are vastly different from the rights and obligations under the RRS.)

The Volunteer Bond is a refundable amount based on a member's volunteer contribution to the Club. This approach recognizes the volunteer contributions that run the club and allows the Club to hire services to fill gaps if needed. Volunteer opportunities include:

• Spring & Fall Clean-up and Seasonal preparation
  
• Regattas
  
• Wednesday Night Race Committee
  
• Sunday Afternoon Series Race Committee
  
• Hosting a Friday Social (volunteer as bartender / burger flipper)
• Annual Awards Banquet
• Working Group / Committee participation
• and, there are many other options in the Member's Area of the website.
  

Members receive a $25 credit per volunteer contribution. This credit can be applied towards next year's membership dues.
